Countries that have semi factories in Europe: Germany, Italy, France, Ireland, Netherlands, UK, Austria, Belgium, and Hungary (with different capabilities and sizes)

So it would be natural that it ends on the countries with existing factories and expertise.

The German (or even we might say, "north-european") self-deprecation gets old sometimes...

I have never heard of german self-deprecation. Do you have any examples of it?

German self-deprecation? I wish! My impression is that Germans feel to be top notch no matter what. I rarely heard self-deprecation from them, humble brag is what come closer.

Yeah it's not so obvious or evident.

What you're mentioning do happen. But there's a bit of a cultural theme to "play it low" and "be humble"
